Graduates of the MSU MFA Program at NASA

"The alignment of MSU's filmmaking program with science is what sets it apart and makes your students such competitive candidates. I think MSU's model of starting with scientists and developing their storytelling and technical capabilities is perfect fit for NASA.

To understand how we view the MSU producer, you have to understand something about NASA Goddard. Goddard is NASA's largest science center and supports vibrant research in four major science themes - astrophysics, heliophysics, planetary, and especially Earth Science."

- Wade Sisler, Executive Television Producer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

"MSU producers begin as members of storytelling tiger teams supporting specific satellite missions or science themes. They work with world class science writers, animators, data visualizers, and web producers... and I think they might just have one of the most fun jobs on the planet. These teams are literally on the unfiltered, cutting edge of science and discovery. Their job is to take a scientist's eureka moment - often something never seen before - translate the story, make it visually compelling, and figure out clever ways of sharing it with the widest possible audience."
